How can I get my questions answered?
DURING COVID-19, ALL APPOINTMENTS AND REVIEWS WILL BE OVER ZOOM
WEEKLY OESS REVIEWS:
In most courses, with the approval of the course director,
OESS review sessions will be scheduled each week to facilitate mastery of the
course material. These sessions are coordinated with any review sessions
presented by the course faculty. The OESS review sessions focus on topics that
students find most challenging, and students are encouraged to
submit topics by email prior to each review. OESS review sessions will be included in the schedule on Canvas for each course.
E-MAIL:
Ask
April,
Steve, or
Paul brief questions that come up during your studying
by email – they will normally respond within 24 hours, and often sooner.
ZOOM appointment:
Schedule an appointment with
April,
Steve, or Paul for yourself or your study group.
- Send an email asking for the Zoom appointment and include at least four times you are available. The educator will confirm the first on your list that he or she is available, or suggest others.
- Zoom appointments with study groups are particularly effective, especially in the potentially limited time just before an exam.
- Zoom links for appointments with April, Steve and Paul are included on the Zoom Links page in the Course Information module on the Canvas page for each course (see list below).

including cardiovascular physiology, the autonomic nervous system,
neurology, metabolic biochemistry, endocrinology, and hematology.
